Getting Fit with A Purpose: Walk/Bike-A-Thon for St. Jude GETTING FIT WITH A PURPOSE. YOU CAN TOO! St Stephen Baptist Church is supporting St Jude  because we want to make a difference. We want to save lives. We want to inspire the millions of children affected by this disease to step forward and leave cancer in the dust. To do more. See more. Love more. Laugh more. To live more. Unapologetic and unafraid. Because cancer doesn’t define us. It doesn’t intimidate us. And it won’t hold us back. We’re in this together. We are teaming up now to change the future and are committed to participate together and support St Jude through this inspirational event. We’re not just doing this because more than 30 million children in the United States have cancer, but because we want to do something about it. There’s nothing we can’t do when we’re Connected for Life. If you can't join as a walker or cyclist, support us! By making a donation and/or joining as a Walker or Cyclist, you will be helping St. Jude provide continued no-cost support to families, protect the rights of children with cancer and fund critical research for a cure. When we bring together dedicated walkers, cyclists, and generous donors, the power we have as a group far outweighs what any of us could do alone. SSBC is determined to reach our goal and your support will help us get there. So let's make a difference together!

Greetings Pledges & Donors: It’s Walk/Bike-A-Thon time!  We are raising money for the St. Jude Sunday of Hope! It is a great way for each participant to individually feel they are contributing to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  In the past, we have been successful in bringing in pledges and donations over $40,000! They have all been HUGE SUCCESSES!  AND WE ARE FUNDRAISING FOR A GREAT CAUSE!  Also, there are NO tickets to sell, NO food to cook/cleanup, etc., etc.!  IT IS EASY!!!!!!! Here’s how it works: Pledge Method #1:  Each registered walker or cyclist will receive a pledge sheet (attached), and will ask friends, relatives, neighbors, etc., for a “pledge per mile.”  On the day of the walk/bike-a-thon (June 19th), each registered participant will walk or cycle the designate route. Pledges will then pay according to the number of successful miles totaled over course of the designated route.  For example, if you get $5 for 1-mile from John Smith, and the walker/cyclist completes 1-mile, then John Smith will donate a total of $5.  Pledge Method #2: Friends and Family can make a Walk/Bike-A-Thon donation to the St. Stephen Baptist Church, attention St. Jude. We request that all donations be collected and turned in no later Saturday, June 26th.
